1.Rain Collection: Over 800 million people need clean water. Use dark-
coloured buckets (to stop green stuff from growing) to catch rainwater. Make
a small hole for water to come out and put a screen on top (to keep bugs
out).One inch (1 inch=2.54 cm) of rain can fill 600 gallons [1 gal(UK)
≈4.55L] of water from a roof—every little bit helps.
2.Bottle Lights: About 1 in 7 people don’t have electricity. Fill a clear bottle
with water and a little bleach. Put it through the roof—it bends sunlight to light
up the room like a light bulb. With a small solar panel and an LED light, it
works at night too. These are used in over 850,000 homes across more than 10
countries.

3.Water Cleaners: Make water safe with simple things. Solar cleaners work
like the water cycle—the sun warms water;the steam turns into clean water. A
man in Gaza’s cleaner makes about 10 litres a day.
These tools make life better and help people be independent.#4.4.1
